Yeah, this is what I sort of thought when I saw it. It seems quite flexible
and fragile with both the battery and CD-ROM drive missing (as it is displayed
in most electronics stores, presumably so you resist the urge to grab it and
make a mad dash through the store only to escape outside with an unusable
stolen computer -- or take them home to use with the one you already have,
which would already have come with a CD-ROM -- I'll concede the battery
issue).
